Description

Russian-made field jacket in EMR (Edinaya Maskirovochnaya Rascvetka) digital camouflage pattern bearing PMC Wagner insignia and field modifications. The left sleeve displays one of the most commonly encountered official PMC Wagner shoulder patches, featuring the organization's distinctive red hand-sign emblem surrounded by the inscription «Солдат Удачи» ("Soldier of Fortune"), a traditional term for a mercenary that reflects Wagner's identity as a private military company. The right sleeve carries a black-and-white "Z" recognition patch, while a strip of red identifier tape has been affixed around the upper arm, a field-expedient recognition measure widely used by Russian and Wagner personnel to distinguish friendly forces during combat operations.

Chest Patch Translation

''Вооружённые Силы России''
"Armed Forces of Russia."
